"Let's go, don't you really want to go in and have a look? Richard asked behind Philip, as if he had not given up.

And this can only speed up the pace of Philip's departure: "Next time, next time, thank Master Guluo for my kindness." As he spoke, Philip walked up to the ground without looking back and disappeared.

Richard stood where he was, waited for most of the day, and made sure that Philip had not returned, and then went inside the iron gate and closed it again.

Everything just now, he cheated Philip, and the bet was that Philip didn't dare to really come in. As it turned out, he was right, and Philip did not dare to come in.

And this time he didn't dare to come in, and the next time he was afraid that he wouldn't dare to come in, then for a long time, he could be guaranteed to be relatively safe. Most importantly, through Philip, he succeeded in creating a non-existent person, a student of Gurlo.

After that, as long as the operation is done properly, you can continue to implement this identity little by little through Philip, and then you can do a lot of things openly through this identity.

Of course, if you can find the Holy Land Key quickly, then you don't have to worry about anything: with the Holy Land Key find a chance to infiltrate the Holy Ground and find out the ultimate secret of the Black Spirit King, you don't need to pay attention to irrelevant matters at all.

Richard thought so, looked around the underground space, and said slowly: "Then, from now on, let's look for it and investigate it in detail." ”

......

Once, twice, three times.

In the following time, Richard checked it nine times.

Nine times!

The result of nine checks is that, not to mention the Holy Land Key, not even a single thing that touches the key has been found - as speculated, it is extremely difficult to find the Holy Land Key, and it is very likely that the Holy Land Key was hidden by Gu Luo in an extremely secret place.

With the last glimmer of hope, Richard summoned Pandora from the Garden of Eden and asked her to try to use her prophetic powers to find the keys to the Holy Codex.

Pandora's unpredictable prophetic abilities did not disappoint Richard this time - quite normally, and it didn't work.

Pandora's eyes widened and she replied, "How do I know, what holy land key is? I'm not a puppy!"

It's not a puppy, it's a dragon.

In this regard, Richard sighed and reluctantly began to make long-term plans.

......

In the days that followed, Richard left the underground space from time to time and went to the surface, appearing with an occasional but not suspicious frequency. And pay attention to it, every appearance has acquaintances.

For example, the first appearance must have Philip, who has already seen him.

In the second appearance, there must be someone who had seen him in the first appearance.

Then came the third appearance, the fourth appearance......

This is so that he can greet people he knows every time he appears and expand the number of people who recognize his identity, and ensure that the person he greets will take the initiative to introduce him to his identity.

After such a period of time, the people in the entire gathering place vaguely accepted his existence, and they all felt that he was indeed a student of Gu Luo, and he had many acquaintances in the gathering place. In fact, he was neither a student of Gulo nor a half-acquaintance, and everything was done by deception of interpersonal relationships.

And he did this for only one purpose, that is, to stay for a long time and continue to find the key to the holy land that Gu Luo had hidden. The scope of his search has gradually expanded from the underground space of Gu Luo, to the three-story wooden building on the ground, to the places that Gu Luo likes to go, and to any place related to Gu Luo.

But I don't know how many times I searched for it, until Li noticed that he was almost perfectly integrated into the gathering place of the jungle hut, and there was still a clue that there was no key to the holy place.

In this regard, I can only sigh a long time and continue to search.

......

In this way, the time entered October, the Frost Moon.

The Frost Moon is the second month of autumn on the East Coast, when the sun is mild but not hot, the breeze is refreshing but not cold, and the late-maturing plants bear fruit and ripen at this time, forming the final harvest tide. This is a good month for a lot of people.

Except for one person.

......

Another gathering place for jungle huts.

Here, compared to the gathering place where Richard was, there was something different.

The gathering place where Richard is located is very densely built, and although it has been planned, it still seems disorderly and cluttered, giving a sense of crowding.

In the gathering place here, there are few buildings, and the spacing of each wooden building is very large, and the atmosphere is a bit quiet and comfortable, giving a feeling of slowly living, slowly growing, and slowly aging. Here, everything seems to slow down, and you don't have to worry about many worries at all, just go with the flow.

At this time, in front of a wooden building, many late-maturing orange pumpkins were piled up. Nellid Clark stood in front of the big orange pumpkin, looking at the pumpkin with frowning eyebrows, his expression a little annoyed, and his eyes a little worried.

After looking at it for a long time, Nelid was sure that the big pumpkin in front of him would not take the initiative to jump, so she cut herself into a beautiful pumpkin lantern, sighed helplessly, and walked towards the pumpkin.

Picking up the top one of the pumpkin piles and placing it on the ground to the side, Nellid pulled out the big sword that was four fingers wide behind her back with a "bang", took a slight aim, and swung it out vigorously.

"Poof!"

The cold light flashed, and the top part of the pumpkin looked like a severed human head, flew out quickly, and then fell to the ground with a "poof".

Nellid looked at the pumpkin that had been "beheaded", and found that the part of the pumpkin that had been cut off was a little larger than she expected, and it was a little crooked, making it difficult to make a qualified jack-o'-lantern.

"Forget it, if it's broken, it's broken, it's okay. Nellid said, "Isn't it just a jack-o'-lantern, no matter how beautiful it is, one can't top two." ”

As she spoke, Nellid turned the pumpkin upside down and began to rudely clean the pumpkin from the melon.

Cleaning up the same, regardless of the small amount of melon pulp left, he put it heavily on the stone table on the side, and with a "brush", Nellid pulled out the dagger at his waist and began to try to carray the eyes, nose and mouth of the jack-o'-lantern.

"Click!"

As Nellid's dagger moved, the outer wall of the jack-o'-lantern fell little by little, and after a while, an irregular eye appeared on the pumpkin.

Nellid looked at the one-eyed pumpkin and frowned, and couldn't help but say, "It's so strenuous, it's just one eye, it takes so long, so how long does it take to make a jack-o'-lantern......?"

"Whew-"

At the end, Nellid couldn't help but take a deep breath, then raised her eyebrows, and suddenly noticed in her heart.

The next moment, Nellid quickly put away the dagger, turned around and picked up the four-finger-wide sword, walked in front of the pumpkin, took a slight aim, and then stabbed out.

"Poof!poof!"

Several sounds sounded, and the pumpkin was directly poked into a big hole, revealing a large exaggerated eye, which was larger and smaller than the previous eye, not to mention how weird it was.

Nellid nodded in satisfaction, drew her greatsword, and began to try to make the nose and mouth of the jack-o'-lantern again.

And then......

"Poof!"

After a sound, Nelid looked at the debris on the table, opened and closed her lips a few times, and said a little unacceptably: "Too much strength? Break the pumpkin......?

"My jack-o-lanterns! I'm almost done, why are they broken! In this case, when will my ten jack-o-lanterns be done, the teacher is really embarrassed for me!

At this moment, behind Nellid, a cat meow sounded.

"Meow—"
